AG James: Puerto Rican Governor Rosselló Should Resign

NEW YORK — Attorney General Letitia James today released the following statement calling on Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rosselló to resign:

“Home to an estimated 1.1 million people who have roots in Puerto Rico, New York has a special bond with the island and with those who call it home. When there is an injustice or injury to Puerto Rico, our communities are likewise harmed and pained. Recent demonstrations held by courageous protestors demanding change and the ongoing crisis of faith in Governor Rosselló makes his continued leadership untenable and he should resign. We must all work together and recommit to helping Puerto Rico recover and rise.”
